War.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The problem Of the
presidency of the French republic grows
more intricate daily. It is now almost
absolutely certain that the Republican
factions will not combine, though they
cannot fail to see that it will be worse for
them if they don't. and the republic is
confronted by the greatest peril that has
ever threatened its existence. Prrsi-
dent Grevy has expressed his de-
termination to cling to his office
until lie knows who has been
chosen as his successor, and it is further
asserted that he will not allow the newly
elected president to succeed him unless
he Shall be a Conservative, and entirely
acceptable to Il large majority of the Re
publicans, even going to the length oi
using military force to prevent his taking
possession Of the Office. IL NJ. Clcmen-
ccau should carry the election, or the
Bo,llangcr extremists succeed in clccting
the general. through combinations with
other sections, there will certainly be Il
row. and a bloody one at that. The cX-
element is great, and party and fractional
feeling is wrought up to u point where
the slightest thing may cause an QUIZ
break.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. ?!5.-IIerbert G..
Jones, who states he is an attorney at
Toronto, Ont, writes IL long letter to the
officials of the Pacific Steamship company,
of this city, about n railway project that
he is Interested in, and for which he is
trying To ecu the backing of capitalists.
His scheme is to build Il road from Port

of confidence he says The capital
stock of the company has been
fixed at $1o. 600, OOG, divided into s, 900, GOO
shares of $40 each. Starting from
Portland, the proposed coast road is to
run north to Tacoma. Seattle, Washing

through British territory, sticking we'll
to the coast, and after crossing rivers and
winding around bays, will at last termi
nate at Juneau. the principal mining
town of southern Alaska.
The purpose of writing the letter here
is TO learn what figures the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, which is the only
line running regular steamers to Alaska,
will ask for their fleet Of vessels, Jones
stating that his company wishes to ope-
rate Il steamer line in connection with it's
railroad. The steamship company sar-
castically state their line is not for sale.

opposition to division.

was a fit subject for an asylum. When

and viciously at his arms and hands and
with every snap of his sharp teeth
tearing away the flesh from
these members in strips, leav-
ing them raw and bloody. Ropes
were obtained, and with considerable
difficulty the fellow was lassocd and then
securely bound and placed in i; position
to be unable to inflict further injury upon

after he was bound, and it was necessary
for the physicians to place him under the
influence of opiatcs before they could
quiet him sufficiently to give his wounds
